Longevity Conservation and the Loss of Earth's Old, Wise and Large Animals

Earth's old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes and services. Often the largest and most experienced, old individuals are most valued by humans and make important contributions to reproduction, information acquisition and cultural transmission, trophic ...

Estuarine wetland restoration: a trade-off between carbon sequestration and methane emissions

AbstractSupport for coastal wetland restoration projects that consider carbon storage as a climate mitigation benefit is growing as coastal wetlands are sites of substantial carbon sequestration. However, the climate footprint of wetland restoration remains controversial as wetlands can also be large sources of methane. This talk focuses on the carbon flows into and out of three restored wetlands in ...

International Workshop on Coastal and Wetland Ecosystems and Global Change

Coastal wetland ecosystems is known as one of the most productive ecosystems on the Earth, and they are vital to environmental health, sustaining economic development, and preserving biodiversity. They are also playing an increasingly important role in mitigating climate change and environmental degradation. However, coastal wetland ecosystems are facing unprecedented challenges in the context ...
